Olamide Turner repositions

After two years of taking care of vulnerable and abandoned children, the management of Peculiar Saints Orphanage led by Mrs Olamide Turner has decided to expand its operations. The orphanage is operating from a temporary site and it will soon be relocating to a permanent location in Ajah because of the desire to expand its operation.

The permanent site, we gathered, has a sick bay; all the rooms are en-suite so that they can include people with disabilities and challenging behaviour.

The proprietor of the home, who herself was orphaned as a child, got interested in running an orphanage after working at the Lauryn Hall Home which caters for children with disabilities and challenging behaviours in the UK where she was based.

Since it commenced operation in 2012, 28 children have passed through Peculiar Saints Orphanage and about 10 children have been adopted by homes in Nigeria and abroad through the Ministry of Youths and Social Development.
